The recent disaster in Visayas as shown below, galvanized our resolve to take new directions and work on new prospects. We will do our share in the rebuilding of these lost social enclaves in all of 9 regions, formerly lively, dynamic, alive and healthily breathing communities now reduced to tatters, broken down to no-man's lands.
We fully understand the difficulty with which people in the government are responding to the horrendous affair. The politicians will always be politicians, undressed down to their birthday suits, the mark will always be there. Our government workers will not be able to do anything on their own without the pols who are fighting each other.
The determination of our group, is for private sector to enter into the picture. What may be better is for the business sector to band together and achieve results on its own, without bothering the public sector.
A distinct feature of our plan however, is placing some focus on relocation. For instance, Tacloban and Samar households along the coasts will always be in danger from storm surge, tidal wave, tsunami and other similar events that are ever worsening and growing fiercer every year.
We have followed the campaign of hazmapping.com for the past two years since our inception and find the concept of relocation to capacity building for more community resilience practicable. Strengthening communities is not objectionable, but it is not the be all in disaster preparedness an already costly enterprise. We also wish to extend our heartfelt support to those campaigning for greater global awareness vs. Climate Change as well as those that are trying to caution the people of the world about solar storm.

It will be recalled that this site has been battling with the UNISDR world wide campaign to promote community resiliency during disaster. This advocacy has been repeatedly asking for policy regime change for re-engineering approaches to disaster prevention. calling also for intelligent relocation, in the midst of asking people to strengthen their resiliency to calamities. Relocation to safe areas, when the path of disaster lies within their habitats so as to avoid unnecessary deaths, loss of property, crops, valuables to calamities that are long foretold beforehand.
Relevant News #Solar storm
August 21, 2010
NASA has previously warned in a study that a solar storm on the surface of the sun could hit earth in the coming years causing mass destruction of our power grids. But unlike the coronal mass ejection that provided views of the aurora borealis at lower latitudes than normal earlier this month, this type of solar storm could be so powerful it may wipe out the power grid on the entire planet.
Possible Source of Yolanda - A misinterpreted warning about radio disruption?
The sun’s magnetic field is expected to flip in the next three to four months and it could lead to changes in our climate, storms and disruption to satellites.
This solar event only happens once every 11 years and signals what physicists call the Solar Maximum - a time when the Sun's solar activity is at its highest.
During this peak in activity the outbursts of solar energy can increase the amount of cosmic and UV rays coming towards Earth and this can interfere with radio communications, cause solar bursts of light - known as flares - and can affect the planet's temperature. More > >
